Prepping the Filling For Sesame Toast
-
Bring the finely chopped carrots and French beans to a quick boil.
-
In a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes, carrots, beans, onions, capsicum, and fresh coriander leaves.
-
To the mix, add grated ginger, minced garlic, green chilly, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
-
Now, add the cornflour to help as a binding agent.
-
Mix all the ingredients well until fully combined, and set aside.
Prepping The Cornflour Slurry
Take 3 tablespoons of cornflour in a small bowl and add2-3 tablespoons of water, mix well to form a thin paste-like consistency.
Shallow Frying the Sesame Toast
-
Using a knife or a mould, cut the bread slices into rectangles, triangles, or even circles.
-
On the bread slice, spread the cornflour slurry evenly.
-
Next, spread the vegetable filling over it.
-
Again spread the cornflour slurry over the filling.
-
Gently press using a spatula or spoon to ensure that the mixture sticks to the bread.
-
Now, generously sprinkle some sesame seeds over the paste. Again, press gently to ensure that they stick to the mix.
-
In a large pan, heat around 100 ml Ambuja Gold Refined Soyabean Oil.
-
Once the oil is sufficiently hot, slide down a prepared bread slice such that the vegetable filling is facing the base of the pan.
-
Let it cook over a medium flame until it starts browning.
-
Then, turn the slice over and cook the other side.
-
Flip the toast as required to ensure even cooking on both sides. Make sure both sides are crisp for the perfect taste.
-
Next, take out the bread on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
-
Similarly, toast all the bread slices.
